I wanted to order a mouthpiece from WWBW to be sent to Singapore. But, when I checked the shipping charges, it amounted to $26. This is about 2/3 of my purchases ($35)!!!

I personally find the shipping charges to be too high for such small items. I had previously ordered bigger items from the US (other online stores) and the charges were much lower.
Anyone else have any experience like this?

Guest,

I suspect that they only have one shipper thy use for overseas and that is dictating a higher cost than you expect. Some companies use several shippers and have a much larger volume so can negotiate lower costs.

Leave it. I absolutely WILL NOT order from merchants who are obviously padding their profit margin by charging unreasonable Shipping and handling charges. This can reach a ridiculous all time high on Ebay, where it is not just over charging, it's an out and out scam.
